good job :tup:. I went last week for the last time and limited out. I think I over did it hiking to far and have a doctors appointment for the right knee coming up :yike:.  I guess that is what I get going up the steepest stuff around here.

Please pm me.  I'd like to give it one last try this year.

I personally think chukar hunting is way overrated...........it's all about the ego IMO.I will concur that they eat very well but no better than a quail............they are just twice as big is all.

Have you ever been on a good chuckar hunt?

Sorry you think that way.  It's all about the fun IMO.  I do it for the challenge, not because of what anyone else might think.

Exactly. It's a lot of work but in the end its a blast. It's not like any other kind of hunting I've ever done. It's not over rated and its not about what anyone thinks. It's about being in the great outdoors and enjoying it for yourself. If you ever get a chance to get into a bunch of chuckar and have them calling around you all day like I did I bet you wouldn't think it was "over rated"

Falling in rocks, missing lots of birds, getting cactus spines in my hands knees and ass, missing more birds, watching birds run up a hill I can barely walk up, burning thighs, burning calves, burning lungs, missing more birds, crapping my pants because I'm scared of the cliff I'm standing on, watching a winged bird sail all the way to the river, yup all this stuff really builds up my ego.

My wife thinks I'm an idiot.  I probably am.  I think even my lab agrees at times.  I guess I am a purist snob, because I'd rather come home with a couple of chukars than chase released pheasants around.

I wish I was closer to some good chukar hunting. Had a lot of them where I grew up... also had waaaaay to many rattlesnakes! early in the season we met a few times.
